Episode 253 – Tower of Grey (Start of Arc 3)

Tim founded GeeklyInc with Michael DiMauro way back in 2013 when they realized they had two podcasts and needed a place to stick them. Since then, Geekly has grown and taken off in ways Tim could have never imagined.

It has been seven years since the Lich, Sinu the Red, was defeated. The lands of Drunkeros have more or less been at peace. Sure, no one has done anything about Pyre, the ancient red dragon who controls Mastwick. And occasionally a goblin tribe will harass trading caravans or some poor mercenaries may find themselves turning to the other side of the law. But, the scars of the past are being healed. Deephome is prospering under Queens Aludra and Jaela’s rule. Pelor’s Hope has opened trade to the far corners of the realm under Queen Ashayara Dayne’s stern, but loving care. The monkey village is still really happy that Bonanas Foster is gone.

We find our heroes, Rowan Grey and Toby Treacletart, in the town of Greenham where they have founded an adventurers league or heroes guild if you want to avoid potential brand confusion. Surely, nothing stressful or odd will happen to them and they can live out the rest of their days in relative bliss. Wouldn’t that be boring.

Excited for the new arc. I couldn’t help but think that tourists to Greenham are probably ordering green eggs despite the protest of locals, and also the only pie Lonnie ever (secretly) liked is “Chi Lime Pie” which gives her some sort of berzerker temporary powers. Or….not. Harden up Toby!
